After running the following command lines:

echo "deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/kubic:/libcontainers:/stable /xUbuntu_${VERSION_ID}/ /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devel:kubic:libcontainers:stable.list

curl -L "https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/kubic:/libcontainers:/stable/xUbuntu_${VERSION_ID}/Release.key" | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt update

Hi @alireza1222,

Please try these updated installation steps, from the official podman docs:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings

curl -fsSL \
  https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:kubic:libcontainers:unstable/xUbuntu_$(lsb_release -rs)/Release.key \
  | gpg --dearmor \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/devel_kubic_libcontainers_unstable.gpg > /dev/null

echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/devel_kubic_libcontainers_unstable.gpg]\
    https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:kubic:libcontainers:unstable/xUbuntu_$(lsb_release -rs)/ /" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devel:kubic:libcontainers:unstable.list > /dev/null

sudo apt-get update -qq

sudo apt-get -qq -y install podman

Regards,
-Chris
